Agency recruiters: how many jobs are you typically working on at once?
Attention agency recruiters: How many job openings do you usually handle simultaneously? I’m curious to understand how many positions the average agency recruiter is juggling at once, especially when the positions aren’t exclusive.
The number of jobs an agency recruiter typically manages can vary widely based on factors such as the size of the agency, the industry, and the recruiter’s level of experience. On average, most recruiters handle anywhere from 5 to 20 positions at a time. For those working on non-exclusive roles, they may juggle even more, potentially handling upwards of 30 to 50 openings.
Recruiters often find that managing multiple positions effectively requires strong organizational skills and the ability to prioritize tasks. Additionally, the complexity and urgency of the roles can impact how many jobs a recruiter can effectively focus on simultaneously. What’s your experience or interest in this area?
